I don’t know if people read this but a woman died in Disney world restaurant where she specifically asked for some food to be free of peanuts or something she was highly allergic to. Her husband sued Disney for negligence and Disney said he signed up for free Disney plus subscription some time back which has a precondition that he cannot ever sue Disney. Can you believe it!
The same thing happened with Uber a couple of days ago. A couple who met with an accident while traveling with Uber couldn't sue the company because they have agreed with the terms and conditions while ordering food through Uber eats.
This isn't anything! The actual creepy thing is that all AI apps were trained by stealing everyone's data available online!! Yes! Yours, mine and everyone else data has been compromised. Stright up privacy violation!! I am shocked on how Indians have no idea about how deep trouble we all are in. In west their's hot debate and lawsuit's going on but no such discourse in India. Indians really think AI is our friend! Read Insta and Adobe terms and conditions. They have added that whatever is uploaded in their app is their property and can use it any way they want. It's scary how our government has taken absolutely no action meanwhile news channel keep talking about Chinese app stealing our data! The fake concern!
I am so sad to see a man like Motwane make such good movies and still not receive any acclaim. Like am i the only one who thought Bhavesh Joshi and Jubillee are far ahead of their time?
I got so emotional at the ending of CTRL. No spoilers but what the technology they use in disturbing way really stayed with me long after the credit rolls.
@@AKking27do u realise how scary internet can be? This was very scary. Also a bigger platform that showed how scary AI can be was shown in the webseries ASUR
It's insane that you had to give a disclaimer before praising Ananya Pandey (TT). I think we should be able to give credit where it's due. If we assume the right to give criticism on someone's performance, then praise/improvements should also be highlighted. Although I am a bit worried that Ananya is limiting her scope with only characters that she is comfortable playing
@@Mistyshaw29 I think she is playing to her strength. There is a long way to go before she expand her scope. She needs to be a successful actress first .
@@bluered1686 I hope you're doing something better in life than him since you have so much free time to comment on the same poor TH-camr's comment sections :D
@@bluered1686 you gave your own opinion too on movies right? Why should anyone ever listen to what anything you say over T&RP? It's not a jab. Reviewers can form the opinion based on various things, and reddit is a decent enough collective along with twitterattis to showcase the opinion the public has...that aligns with your opinion.
Interestingly, the part about Aparshakti's voice over of the AI assistant that disconnected you is what I found even more convincing in the movie, as that is exactly how I'd imagine an AI assistant to sound like in this day and age, as opposed to the hyperrealism depicted in "Her", which was a more futuristic movie. So that made me connect with the plot even more.
Yes! I immediately thought of those ChatGPT videos doing the rounds on the internet where AI talks in a flirty "hey kitten" tone. The tone and voice was very much in line with what we see today, and honestly, I don't think the movie was trying to show Ananya falling for the character or developing a deep bond. It was like she started looking at the AI purely as a tool to get the closure she needed and then started to rely on it, but maybe more as an assistant/social media coach/a close work friend that you open up to. At least that is the vibe I got and it fit perfectly for me.

What I love about Annaya, she is slowly improving her acting instead of snatching big projects and ruining them in order to prove, And plus she ain't trying to be wannabe relatable poor girl, she is simply and slowly improving
This is literally her 9th or 10th project and she is still playing herself if it was a outsider they would've been out the window in their first project itself I don't know why you people always limit the comparisons among star kids alone while talented outsiders like Medha Mrunal radhika exists and isn't getting any scripts at all while anaya is getting her 10th redemption project its just not a fair.
I really liked Ananya’s performance. I found it much better than call me bae..also her chemistry with Vihaan was way better here..cause the story and screenplay was really good I guess. Loved that last scene..it says A LOT!!!!
Kho Gaye Hum Kahan is where I really think she was shining. The repetition rut of the same kind of characters tho can be career sabotage. The theatre going audience still has no idea about her presence!
@@TriedRefusedProductions yess I agree! Kho Gaye was the one where she really did her best and all characters after that seem like a version of that only! She needs to take conscious efforts to attempt different roles for sure!
@@TriedRefusedProductionsher strength lies in portrayal of these ultra urban open minded gen z girls . Now where do you put these type of characters in a traditional big budget movies of Bollywood. Where there is no time for these simple characters to flourish have a presence create a impact. The only way they make a impact is by being overtly sexual or loud and that itself destroys the connection or meaning of these characters. I don't know where these ultra urban characters demand is right now but everything is going to change if jigrah becomes a urban hit which I expecting it to be. Jigrah looks like that urban movie for millennial and gen z . It looks like that shot Bollywood badly needs to move forward. Let just hope hope jigrah becomes that urban blockbuster to bring the change.
The integration of yashraj mukhate making a song out of it, and tanmay's reaction.. with his panel of meme reaction.. made this movie more relatable... And stepping towards the awareness genre P.s the first time i saw such film technique.. it was in one of the episodes of modern family... Since then i wanted indian cinema to do something like this... Which again was a plus point for the movie.
I was so amazed while watching the movie SEARCHING, seeing Bollywood adapting that genre with a good movie by Vikramaditya Motwane really makes me happy.
There is going to be a point where this is going to be exhausting. The same demographic role and cadence in delivery reminds me of when Anushka was just doing the panju girl roles. Needs to challenge herself pronto for real credibility
Well she is the face of Gen Z and will continue to be chosen for such project because of this. Gen Z kids are absolutely stuck in the eye of the storm that is social media
This movie was so convincing.!! and real that you won't believe while watching this movie side by side I was going through my phone and disabling various permissions which I had given to multiple apps...🎉❤
Kudos to Vikramaditya motwane sir's direction.... An amazing director indeed. Waiting for his theatrical release as well...but I can't believe people are literally "praising" ananya for "chosing" good scripts..like bro she is literally "showered" with good scripts now and then...and 1 min silence for those who are saying ananya did a "great" job because lol the "bar is too low".... avg ko "great" bolne ki adadt ho gayi hai...
Shots on jhanvi? 😂😂 But it is important to all spectrum of movies to exist. There is nothing wrong in showcasing beauty but one should not stick to same type of movies.
I can't lie her role in Devara sucked but she is trying to become a massy heroine. A lot of that (especially in the Telugu market) comes with just looking pretty and shaking a leg!
9:35 Its scary how true it is. So I am a Avid reader but I never post Book Pictures or photos in book cafes. Once when I was asked about my hobby and I said reading, a friend was like you are lying you never post anything on Insta!!!!
Ananya Pandey is walking on Alia Bhatt path😁.I remember how Alia was also brutally trolled in starting of her career for making dumb statements and being nepo kid.Then she chose great projects like highway, love u zindagi and raazi.
Not really Alia proved her acting caliber just in her second film Highway which was out of her comfort zone and that showed she had the skill and will to be a good actress while this Ananya's 9th or 10th project and was barely good and in most of her decent works like this and kho gaye or geharayeeyan she plays the same character which is close to her real life persona so comparing someone like ananya with alia is such a joke
@@krishnakrupaur3727 I didn't say Ananya is as good as Alia. I just said Ananya also following the same steps.She haven't proved herself as a capable actor yet but she is taking up great projects.
I personally felt the AI depiction was perfect with lame jokes considering this was early stage role out of the CTRL app. And how AI response improved with more n more interaction. Every other movie remotely also related to AI or tech gets compared to HER even at the drop of second which is a lot of time irrelevant n mostly unfair, whether its teri baaton me or this movie from this year. Movie does the job of make u think about ur digital footprint especially the Video by Joe but i was expecting tables to turn in later half - to only realise that the end was so so depressingly realistic. Lack of real friends, social support, loneliness n her mental state drawing her back to the app. 😢 its just too good
I don't know y every time i see Ananya perform somewhat better i feel happy, Is this a phenomenon or is it just me.. i think we r stuck with these actors no matter wht we do so we might as well cheer for thm 😅
Or just because we judged them too quickly without them having time to grow now they are growing and showing themselves, as a non hater we are actually feeling happy. It's not stuck with them it's just we are seeing people taking hate and raising from it which is inspiring actually. I Loved Ananya for her beauty and now loving Ananya for her acting. I like janvi too she need to do a show which she is more related to like a star kids life, which is close to her life and show her acting skills,like Ananya did with call me bae. Lemme talk about call me bae for a second. The series is not actually great, is fresh but not well made. It had its flaws but it is what it is. It's not a series we watch to know great story or invest sm attention. It's a pretty good story with good acting with good chemistry with enough plot. It's a good series actually. If you haven't seen it watch it, expect it to be bad then you realise it is actually good. Believe me.
This was a great film and honestly I saw my fear of ai playout on screen. While, I do agree that this role is tailor-made for ananya,it shouldn't take a way from the fact that she did the role justice and she is getting better at portraying a wider range of emotions on camera, I just hope she doesn't get comfortable in these roles and takes on more challenging characters because I think she is finally coming into her own.
I'm so happy that vikramaditya motwane is being recognised for his work. He's a very powerful yet subtle director. No wonder he assisted sanjay leela bhansali in movies like HDDCS, Devdas
Ananya is becoming very likable with each movie. Loved her in call me bae too. Also in CTRL. She is too good in emotional and dramatic scenes. Its very nice to witness her growth.
Ananya is evolving so much as an actress. Im glad finally her hard work is showing. She is very good in CTRL.. I got so emotional for her at the end. Vihaan samat and aparshakti khurana did great too.
I think we should give credit and praise too where credit is due. As we feel free to critique actors so much. Really loved Ananya in the couple of her last projects. CTRL is a solid movie. Loved it. Ananya is very good in it. Especially in emotional scenes. I loved her so much in it.
When you spoke about the technology being subpar and compared it to the movie her, I thought that CTRL shows us the technology in a development stage and not launched to public yet hence I feel that does justice to how it has been depicted in the movie. Whereas when you see the tech towards the end it is so much more better and evolved
hmmm. I think you have a good point here. The AI avatar seemed more comforting in tone later on. Can I say tho, I think it's just Aparshakti's delivery in general. He slightly hams it up when not needed. I thought the funny avatar can also be a little subtle than this over top performer
Is it just me or did this movie feel inspired by Black Mirror S6 episode 1 titled “Joan is awful” where a streaming service tricks their customers into sharing all their personal data?
Call Me Bae was Good.I saw your review and then watched. It was funny AF and literally all my women friends loved it. Just its not targetted to serious people like you. There are privileged people who love watching empowerment and feminism , but there are many women out there who face so many issues in real life that we love fun chick flicks. It was anything but nauseating. (Maybe nauseating for Pretentious folks who want to only see dukh dard)
Agreed so much. Call me bae is so good and funny. Filled with so many indian pop culture references and meta jokes. Jamwal is just a biased critic and don't want Ananya to succed in dharma. Because his shitty favorite is janvi. Ananya did a great job in Call me bae. Better than this.
I mean, even as someone who loves mindless comedy , I thought it was just really badly written, cringe and only some of the jokes land. Even mindless silly shows need to be written well. But it’s okay because people are allowed to enjoy things even if they are not done well.
One thing that I noticed in the movie very early on is the attention to detail in styling annanya The tie knot top and side pattern hair, when she just started dating joe was so on point. It’s a subtle detail but literally makes the characters so authentic
For me, this marks a solid picture of what LSD2 wanted to do but couldn't quite achieve. While the movie deviated from a psychological attachment (as showcased in Her), I think the scenario described here is more apt for the current level of technology. It shows how even a relatively primitive AI, when given enough authority, can be of great use to us, but can very soon take a sinister turn. What really hit home for me, though, was the fact that it didn’t stop at presenting a dystopian scenario but actually went beyond that with its ending to reflect the captive nature of today, couldn't agree more with you on that point. Motwane has always been a remarkable talent with all his projects, but I think this solidifies his position as a storyteller who’s addressing very important issues. This is especially true considering James Cameron’s recent comment in his conversation with Bill Gates (What’s Next Ep. 1 on Netflix), about how it's becoming increasingly harder to write science fiction because any such content takes three years to be realized and may lose relevance. With that in mind, I think Motwane has done a terrific job again. It’s only alarming that such great content may not have the reach it deserves, as the movie lacks the star power or happy-go-lucky vibe most audiences seem to seek. I enjoyed Motwane’s recent interview with Baradwaj Rangan, though I wish the discussion had extended beyond the movie into Motwane’s vision of how technology should be processed in today’s world and directed in a safe way. I’ve enjoyed the content you’ve put out for a long time, and I’m really happy to see your popularity and reach growing. I’ll look forward to more such interesting discussions, especially if you can bring on similar guests in the future. Godspeed ahead!
can we draw parallels from these characters to the real people. Honestly Aryan K looked like Nikhil Kamat. Mantra? it sounds like Myntra! Give me more!
Hats off to the creator and maker of the movie. Best Storyline, Best Performance, Best acting, best editing. EYE OPENING through very compelling story EVERYONE SHOULD MUST WATCH IT!!
By far she is the only star kid from her generation to grow as an actress rather than talking about the movie struggles they have had in interviews with zero good results. Her work from kho gaye hum kahan to this hasn't been disappointing.
I am so tired of her. Like she's in every 2nd project out there. While mrunal thakurs and radhika madan don't get these kind of opportunities. I am fatigued.
@@UnnatiMaurya-nq4fkBut producers are not stupid right, they are making more money from her than mrunal thakur and any other good actresses. At the end of the day the money matters.
I actually liked her performances in almost every movie she has done in the past,she is never overdoing it , SOTY 2 was a stupid movie, but she was fine as a newcomer, in pati patni aur woh she did a good job , there was nothing wrong,she was at par with other co stars in gehraiyan, actually even better than them, good acting in Dream Girl 2 with whatever screentime she had, and we all know about Kho gaye Hum kahan and CTRL now, this girl has potential, she has her own learning curve as she is getting opportunities being a Nepo Kid, she is on the same path as Alia.
Just watched... Wow, once again Ananya Surprised me with her amazing performance after Kho gye hum kahan and call me bae.... Vikram did complete justice to his work... The way he handled the screenplay is commendable🔥🔥 Sorry for haters but Ananya is evolving now... You have to accept it👍🏻
Literally nothing and no one sums up my feelings towards everything entertainment like Jammy! Please don’t ever change for views and algorithms, you are the most authentic person I watch on YT.
I have seen couple of movies with same theme but I really liked this hindi version Cntrl. I felt Ananya's acting has actually approved and she acted really well. A lot of unfortunate truth relating to an online life and AI. Loved all the characters and their acting.
India is a diverse country and a hotbed of culture, pluralism, cuisine and tradition. Storytelling has existed in India since ancient times. Some high profile, well known and narcissistic nexus of writers, directors and actors want to blindly copy the western model of cinema which has little or no resonance. Financial interests have been prioritised instead of risk taking, star value is prioritised over talented method acting and self pity is prioritised over genuine introspection. This is the state of bollywood. Cinematic brilliance is marginalised as arthouse works. They are denied visibility, recognition and funds. The whole lobby connives against them.
I loved CTRL but also I think call me bae is a great series. Very well written and performed and funny. Definitely Ananyas best performance ever. She played bella chawdhary with so much conviction. Didn't agree with your negative review of call me bae at all.
I think the approach to not making "Allen" as natural as ScarJo in Her was intentional by Motwane. The sheer disconnect during those scenes were deliberately done to show the artificiality of AI compared to an actual human, something we see in the final scene. Both were different approaches but with a similar objective
I had watched this movie yesterday based on Anurag Kashyap’s news recommendation, it was really an excellent well made movie but scares in terms of the reality of it. Well scripted and made.. very concise and to the point.
Both Lootera and Udaan are classics though so different in terms of their genres ! Actually one requires a certain level of IQ and EQ to fully understand and appreciate Siddharth Motwane's movies... that is a hard fact !
Its to see something like this from craftsman motwane, in a time that we are living in social media and internet is grappling us from all around, so showcasing a dark side of it with so much detailing is a commendable effort. This should be watched and he should be applauded. 👏❤
As a South Indian from chennai udaan released when I was in college , it was a whole new introduction for me and my friends towards Hindi cinema … Always a Motwane fan
Only someone like a Vikramaditya Motwane could've made this movie as good as it was! Keeping the runtime absolutely crisp & accurately depicting all that was shown in the movie. Kudos to CTRL for touching a very important piece of our modern lives.
motwane is my new favourite director! i watched the film last night and still am getting all the creeps. brilliant job! in terms of cons- i think the runtime could be cut down for a bit. (the removal of joe from the digital footprint got way too screen time) Allens avatar was unsettling, untrustworthy and undone for sure. But i do think making AI less like a human was better and more real because as nella says, 'tu toh ai hai, feelings nhi hai tere pass.' also considering the early stages of AI! i do wonder why nella didnt say no when the last video was getting erased, after joe died! :( but her turning to ctrl again at the end after everything, with joe as the avatar was a dark turn for sure! It was baffeling how just a moments of her being away from the laptop changed everything. 💀 I do wish she fought the case but realistically people would walk away for sure so good decision. The buildup and tension was real for sure! felt like i was handling the computer and being intrusive in someones life. I love movies that leave a lasting impact and makes me want to think and analyse about it in detail! i am so glad that this movie with such a crazyy and important concept with unique filmography came into the indian cinema landscape, gives me hope for better, unique and real storytelling for sure! thank you to the team and netflix!
This movie simply put, IT DELIVERED, we could see from beginning to end the whole time clearly all the effort put in individually from everyone involved, the director, the actors, writers, and the entire team, a relevant movie to remember this year for sure! 👏👏❤ Plus, I love how out of all the films that launched recently and their hype and premieres and all, this one was the best one personally and I got to watch it simply at home 😊
7:38 u surely arent speaking from personal experience i am sure!!😅😂 Have to say this but i think people are just stupid to say bollywood is dying at this point like forget the massy films but look at the originality across the genres, movies like kill, madgaon express, laapata ladies, maidaan, sector 36, 12th fail(although it released last year but it was almost at the end of december) and now ctrl these all are so original stories. We as audience need to stop being hypocritical first people rant at bollywood for being unoriginal and then when they do such amazing stuffs we barely give it attentioon. (If people gave these movies as much attention as sara, jhanvi and ananya i would definitely say we can make a progress!!)
See in Telugu a soft, slow yet beautiful movie like '35 - chinna katha kaadu' releases in theater and in Tamil movie like meyazhagan another soft, slow yet beautiful movie releases in theaters and both the movies went to become successful. Infact Meyazhagan has stars like Aravind swamy and Karthi in it where as 35 with any star (except if you consider Nivetha Thomas as a star) did decent business at the BO and also had a decent opening.. that is now absent in Hindi industry. Some 6-7years back that was not the case...
Jimmy one q for u ...house of dragon or breaking bad despite being tv show are not considered inferior to movies ...rather their budget vfx storyline or just story telling they r better ....the actors directors working on tv series get their due ....why such conditions is not in India ...we hv some great web series in India ...sacred game part 1 or paatal log ...they can compete even internationally ...
Say what you will, but I think Ananya is serious in learning and improving her craft. Many scenes in her movies that require non-verbal acting she has done very well. I would say her expressions have more range than Jhanvi kapoor. Sheis also naturally good looking. I definitely look forward to her earning respect from audience as she does more movies
Honestly vikramaditya motwane is one of my favourite directors I was actually looking forward to his next directorial after jubliee and when I got to know ananya is in lead role for ctrl,I was a bit disappointed considering his earlier casting choice for jubliee especially siddant and wamiqa. But I watched the film and as a teen who has not watched any of the Hollywood movies based on this theme I think it's a great one time watch,it is worth your time and energy and Ananya has done a decent job. motwane's direction always weaves something new and leaves a lasting impact❤
Just realised that Vihaan Samat is in both Call Me Bae (which I haven't watched) and CTRL. Also, two references to Shah Rukh Khan AND using the name Aryan K. What was that about? Made me chuckle.
@@Besties591 But Alia atleast was talented and proved in her 2nd movie highway but this is Ananya's 9th or 10th project and this is the one she is getting praise for and even here she is just playing a version of herself.
I really liked Searching & Black Mirror Ep so CTRL is similar ScreenLife Screenplay especially by directer Vikram Motwane is a must watch. But I feel Ananya Pandey will get boxed into this Gen-z or rich gf roles making it also slightly easier to portray but redundant.
Unpopular openion: When any good director or musicians colabs with bad actor,they always make a thing which is naturally of not their standerds like this movie's music director who also composed the gangs of wasseypur saga.But here her music felt so faltu.
Call me bae is very good and very funny. You are just biased against Ananya. Call me bae had lots of meta jokes and indian pop culture references. I loved it. And everyone i know loved it.
Jab Tak Ananya aur Jahnvi ka Nepo Baap zinda Hai, in dono ka Career Bana rahega inspite of the several flops. Love your Critical analysis of the films 🎥
CTRL is a good movie. I like its story because it is very realistic about the way we are dependent on the internet and all these apps in today's day and age. And I liked the ending too. I feel it was a realistic choice that Nella makes in the end as most people would often choose to live another day keeping their demons at bay rather than try to fight a giant that can easily crush them. As for Ananya, she did a good job here. While it can be a disadvantage to her career if she keeps on choosing characters like Nella and Bella as they are pretty much different versions of herself, I am happy she is not choosing much deeper roles that are out of her talent zone just to prove to people she can act only to end up ruining projects. I hope she makes the right choices and keeps on improving as an actor.
I think what you said about apar shakti khurranas voice.. i don't think its that way... see we all have dicey behaviors somewhere about technology which is depicted by ananya very nicely, and about aparshkati's robotic voice add a natural touch to it.
Jammy being a massive fan of your content, I’ve noticed since a while that If your bashing a project u tend to be a little more overboard with the explanation playing on the audience sentiment-ie call me bae , personally understanding from content you wouldn’t have bashed it as much but cause of the engagement that hating on Anaya u might get I feel u went a bit over. Always been a huge fan of ur content cause all the must watch films or positive review are correct and so are the negative but just harsher sometimes
One think we need to realize as indian audience that not every actor has to show range. Some actors are great at playing themselves onscreen. Never heard that anybody criticising Robert down junior, Ryan playing themselves as iron man, deadpool. Ananya has found herself genz is also in great scripts.
I don't think the makers were even trying to portray any relationship between Nella and Allen beyond the fact that he was erasing Joe from her digital past (which could be done without an assistant by the click of a button but having someone talk to you and ask you about each photo or video just made it easier for the user perhaps) so it's unfair to compare Allen's tone to that of ScarJo in Her. I watched the movie yesterday and it left me feeling so creeped out, especially with the ending where you know it's not always "good over evil" in real life! Also, I related it to "Joan is awful" as well. Black Mirror was always ahead of its time, man. Motwayne FTW!!
This movie is definitely inspired by a story from the Book of Short Stories by Ken Liu called The Paper Menagerie and other stores. No doubt, it's well made. I enjoyed the watch.
I have no qualms in admitting that this masterpiece did surprise me, pleasantly though. I must say I was flabbergasted by Ananya in some scenes. It gives me a feeling of watching fall colours where it is not green everywhere, yet you find it refreshingly green. I give the girl full credit for being intentional in making her choices and living through them. Although I feel she might be a misfit as the regular commercial Hindi cinema heroine, she seems to be well aware of her limitations and strengths, at least in choosing projects. It is a sad reality that we are part of a digital crisis which might blow us even before climate crisis dooms us. And as of now there is no probable end or solution to it. We have seen the human race move on from Books, Print media, Radio, TV, Computers, Mobile Phones, iPads to smart watches. I can only imagine us going ahead towards digital chips pinned on to us in future. Agreed that this digital outburst has changed the way we learn, communicate, write, do business and navigate through relationships, but I do wonder if it is going to be difficult for me to go back to those days when we used to spend time sitting under a tree watching it rain and smile for hours.
I don’t know if people read this but a woman died in Disney world restaurant where she specifically asked for some food to be free of peanuts or something she was highly allergic to. Her husband sued Disney for negligence and Disney said he signed up for free Disney plus subscription some time back which has a precondition that he cannot ever sue Disney. Can you believe it!
The same thing happened with Uber a couple of days ago.
A couple who met with an accident while traveling with Uber couldn't sue the company because they have agreed with the terms and conditions while ordering food through Uber eats.

Its a completely different genre and performance. Call me bae was a lighthearted series. CTRL is a sci-fi thriller.

@@bluered1686 you gave your own opinion too on movies right? Why should anyone ever listen to what anything you say over T&RP? It's not a jab. Reviewers can form the opinion based on various things, and reddit is a decent enough collective along with twitterattis to showcase the opinion the public has...that aligns with your opinion.
Interestingly, the part about Aparshakti's voice over of the AI assistant that disconnected you is what I found even more convincing in the movie, as that is exactly how I'd imagine an AI assistant to sound like in this day and age, as opposed to the hyperrealism depicted in "Her", which was a more futuristic movie. So that made me connect with the plot even more.
I agree , as we can see the AI tool was at development stage , it looked more convincing.
Totally agree with you
I agree too
💯
Yes! I immediately thought of those ChatGPT videos doing the rounds on the internet where AI talks in a flirty "hey kitten" tone. The tone and voice was very much in line with what we see today, and honestly, I don't think the movie was trying to show Ananya falling for the character or developing a deep bond. It was like she started looking at the AI purely as a tool to get the closure she needed and then started to rely on it, but maybe more as an assistant/social media coach/a close work friend that you open up to. At least that is the vibe I got and it fit perfectly for me.

What I love about Annaya, she is slowly improving her acting instead of snatching big projects and ruining them in order to prove,
And plus she ain't trying to be wannabe relatable poor girl, she is simply and slowly improving
She needs to improve her range. Currently she is playing herself
I think she’s good at playing herself? Not a fan,but I actually appreciate the way she’s improving
In short she is better than Jahnvi and Sarah 😂
This is literally her 9th or 10th project and she is still playing herself if it was a outsider they would've been out the window in their first project itself I don't know why you people always limit the comparisons among star kids alone while talented outsiders like Medha Mrunal radhika exists and isn't getting any scripts at all while anaya is getting her 10th redemption project its just not a fair.

Kho Gaye Hum Kahan is where I really think she was shining. The repetition rut of the same kind of characters tho can be career sabotage. The theatre going audience still has no idea about her presence!
@@TriedRefusedProductions yess I agree! Kho Gaye was the one where she really did her best and all characters after that seem like a version of that only! She needs to take conscious efforts to attempt different roles for sure!
@@TriedRefusedProductionsher strength lies in portrayal of these ultra urban open minded gen z girls . Now where do you put these type of characters in a traditional big budget movies of Bollywood. Where there is no time for these simple characters to flourish have a presence create a impact. The only way they make a impact is by being overtly sexual or loud and that itself destroys the connection or meaning of these characters.
I don't know where these ultra urban characters demand is right now but everything is going to change if jigrah becomes a urban hit which I expecting it to be. Jigrah looks like that urban movie for millennial and gen z . It looks like that shot Bollywood badly needs to move forward. Let just hope hope jigrah becomes that urban blockbuster to bring the change.
@@TriedRefusedProductions , she was great in Gehriyaan as well =)
Great😂😂...??..lol the bar is too low@@ashmenon6543
I think one of the best performance in CTRL is of aparshakti khurana. The AI assistant was so scary and creepy. Apar is a great actor.
Oh was that him? I didn't know
The integration of yashraj mukhate making a song out of it, and tanmay's reaction.. with his panel of meme reaction.. made this movie more relatable... And stepping towards the awareness genre
P.s the first time i saw such film technique.. it was in one of the episodes of modern family... Since then i wanted indian cinema to do something like this... Which again was a plus point for the movie.
can you tell which ep of modern family pleasee pleasee

CTRL impressed me. Ananya is really good. Let's accept that Ananya is doing a great job these days.
Totally agreed.

Ananya pandey is becoming Ayushman Khurana of social media & urban life based movie genre :)
There is going to be a point where this is going to be exhausting. The same demographic role and cadence in delivery reminds me of when Anushka was just doing the panju girl roles. Needs to challenge herself pronto for real credibility
@@TriedRefusedProductions yeah...not every movie maker is talented like motwani. Could easily become irritating if not done right.
Well she is the face of Gen Z and will continue to be chosen for such project because of this. Gen Z kids are absolutely stuck in the eye of the storm that is social media
Pls don't compare her with an amazing actor like auyshman
Its not the same. CTRL and call me bae are two totally different genres.
This movie was so convincing.!! and real that you won't believe while watching this movie side by side I was going through my phone and disabling various permissions which I had given to multiple apps...🎉❤
Same! I deleted many apps
Kudos to Vikramaditya motwane sir's direction.... An amazing director indeed. Waiting for his theatrical release as well...but I can't believe people are literally "praising" ananya for "chosing" good scripts..like bro she is literally "showered" with good scripts now and then...and 1 min silence for those who are saying ananya did a "great" job because lol the "bar is too low".... avg ko "great" bolne ki adadt ho gayi hai...

Really loved Ananya in CTRL. Aparshakti khurana is good as ai assistant too
9:35 Its scary how true it is. So I am a Avid reader but I never post Book Pictures or photos in book cafes. Once when I was asked about my hobby and I said reading, a friend was like you are lying you never post anything on Insta!!!!
Ananya Pandey is walking on Alia Bhatt path😁.I remember how Alia was also brutally trolled in starting of her career for making dumb statements and being nepo kid.Then she chose great projects like highway, love u zindagi and raazi.
Not really Alia proved her acting caliber just in her second film Highway which was out of her comfort zone and that showed she had the skill and will to be a good actress while this Ananya's 9th or 10th project and was barely good and in most of her decent works like this and kho gaye or geharayeeyan she plays the same character which is close to her real life persona so comparing someone like ananya with alia is such a joke
@@krishnakrupaur3727 I didn't say Ananya is as good as Alia. I just said Ananya also following the same steps.She haven't proved herself as a capable actor yet but she is taking up great projects.
Alia has never been bad in acting. Off screen dumbness and movie performances are different things.
Waiting to see Ananya in a dark role. She's a limited actress but somehow I feel she'll do well in dark characters.
I loved Ananya’s acting in Kho gaye hum kaha and CTRL, she is doing so good❤
I personally felt the AI depiction was perfect with lame jokes considering this was early stage role out of the CTRL app. And how AI response improved with more n more interaction. Every other movie remotely also related to AI or tech gets compared to HER even at the drop of second which is a lot of time irrelevant n mostly unfair, whether its teri baaton me or this movie from this year. Movie does the job of make u think about ur digital footprint especially the Video by Joe but i was expecting tables to turn in later half - to only realise that the end was so so depressingly realistic. Lack of real friends, social support, loneliness n her mental state drawing her back to the app. 😢 its just too good
I don't know y every time i see Ananya perform somewhat better i feel happy, Is this a phenomenon or is it just me.. i think we r stuck with these actors no matter wht we do so we might as well cheer for thm 😅
Yes . that's true ❤
Or just because we judged them too quickly without them having time to grow now they are growing and showing themselves, as a non hater we are actually feeling happy. It's not stuck with them it's just we are seeing people taking hate and raising from it which is inspiring actually. I Loved Ananya for her beauty and now loving Ananya for her acting.
I like janvi too she need to do a show which she is more related to like a star kids life, which is close to her life and show her acting skills,like Ananya did with call me bae.
Lemme talk about call me bae for a second. The series is not actually great, is fresh but not well made. It had its flaws but it is what it is. It's not a series we watch to know great story or invest sm attention. It's a pretty good story with good acting with good chemistry with enough plot. It's a good series actually. If you haven't seen it watch it, expect it to be bad then you realise it is actually good. Believe me.
Lol no
Maybe for some not for others tho.. 🤭🤭
True, jhanvi is unable to act well till date
This was a great film and honestly I saw my fear of ai playout on screen. While, I do agree that this role is tailor-made for ananya,it shouldn't take a way from the fact that she did the role justice and she is getting better at portraying a wider range of emotions on camera, I just hope she doesn't get comfortable in these roles and takes on more challenging characters because I think she is finally coming into her own.
I love the choices Ananya has been making. She is by far the most evolved as an actor compare to other star kids of her generation.
Lol absolutely not, she's below average, but audience is blind
Yes yes entire audience is blind except you?🤡?@@Nicluxx

@@prajaktadande7053 geez pr bot
When you spoke about the technology being subpar and compared it to the movie her, I thought that CTRL shows us the technology in a development stage and not launched to public yet hence I feel that does justice to how it has been depicted in the movie.
Whereas when you see the tech towards the end it is so much more better and evolved
hmmm. I think you have a good point here. The AI avatar seemed more comforting in tone later on. Can I say tho, I think it's just Aparshakti's delivery in general. He slightly hams it up when not needed. I thought the funny avatar can also be a little subtle than this over top performer
Is it just me or did this movie feel inspired by Black Mirror S6 episode 1 titled “Joan is awful” where a streaming service tricks their customers into sharing all their personal data?
have mentioned the same in the review too
@@TriedRefusedProductions haha yes I commented way before I reached that part in the video where you mention it xD
Call Me Bae was Good.I saw your review and then watched. It was funny AF and literally all my women friends loved it.
Just its not targetted to serious people like you.
There are privileged people who love watching empowerment and feminism , but there are many women out there who face so many issues in real life that we love fun chick flicks. It was anything but nauseating. (Maybe nauseating for Pretentious folks who want to only see dukh dard)
Agreed so much. Call me bae is so good and funny. Filled with so many indian pop culture references and meta jokes. Jamwal is just a biased critic and don't want Ananya to succed in dharma. Because his shitty favorite is janvi. Ananya did a great job in Call me bae. Better than this.
I mean, even as someone who loves mindless comedy , I thought it was just really badly written, cringe and only some of the jokes land. Even mindless silly shows need to be written well. But it’s okay because people are allowed to enjoy things even if they are not done well.

One thing that I noticed in the movie very early on is the attention to detail in styling annanya

5:58 the mostlysane shade Lmao
NO, i think he was talking abouty Sejal Kumar
@@rheasharma179 As a old sejal kumar ardent watcher I remembered her too when he was saying that lol
For me, this marks a solid picture of what LSD2 wanted to do but couldn't quite achieve. While the movie deviated from a psychological attachment (as showcased in Her), I think the scenario described here is more apt for the current level of technology. It shows how even a relatively primitive AI, when given enough authority, can be of great use to us, but can very soon take a sinister turn. What really hit home for me, though, was the fact that it didn’t stop at presenting a dystopian scenario but actually went beyond that with its ending to reflect the captive nature of today, couldn't agree more with you on that point.
Motwane has always been a remarkable talent with all his projects, but I think this solidifies his position as a storyteller who’s addressing very important issues. This is especially true considering James Cameron’s recent comment in his conversation with Bill Gates (What’s Next Ep. 1 on Netflix), about how it's becoming increasingly harder to write science fiction because any such content takes three years to be realized and may lose relevance. With that in mind, I think Motwane has done a terrific job again. It’s only alarming that such great content may not have the reach it deserves, as the movie lacks the star power or happy-go-lucky vibe most audiences seem to seek.
I enjoyed Motwane’s recent interview with Baradwaj Rangan, though I wish the discussion had extended beyond the movie into Motwane’s vision of how technology should be processed in today’s world and directed in a safe way. I’ve enjoyed the content you’ve put out for a long time, and I’m really happy to see your popularity and reach growing. I’ll look forward to more such interesting discussions, especially if you can bring on similar guests in the future. Godspeed ahead!
can we draw parallels from these characters to the real people. Honestly Aryan K looked like Nikhil Kamat. Mantra? it sounds like Myntra! Give me more!

By far she is the only star kid from her generation to grow as an actress rather than talking about the movie struggles they have had in interviews with zero good results. Her work from kho gaye hum kahan to this hasn't been disappointing.

India is a diverse country and a hotbed of culture, pluralism, cuisine and tradition. Storytelling has existed in India since ancient times. Some high profile, well known and narcissistic nexus of writers, directors and actors want to blindly copy the western model of cinema which has little or no resonance. Financial interests have been prioritised instead of risk taking, star value is prioritised over talented method acting and self pity is prioritised over genuine introspection. This is the state of bollywood. Cinematic brilliance is marginalised as arthouse works. They are denied visibility, recognition and funds. The whole lobby connives against them.

Glad I watched dis movie after ur suggestion ...such a brilliant movie ...a good & real plot after a long time in hindi cinema thankx
I think the approach to not making "Allen" as natural as ScarJo in Her was intentional by Motwane. The sheer disconnect during those scenes were deliberately done to show the artificiality of AI compared to an actual human, something we see in the final scene. Both were different approaches but with a similar objective
Even I wondered y it wasn't more natural
I had watched this movie yesterday based on Anurag Kashyap’s news recommendation, it was really an excellent well made movie but scares in terms of the reality of it. Well scripted and made.. very concise and to the point.
Hope, Ananya Pandey do Such Movies Rather than Cringe Items 😊
I was really hoping "C U soon" to come up! And Jammy you did it ..
Both Lootera and Udaan are classics though so different in terms of their genres ! Actually one requires a certain level of IQ and EQ to fully understand and appreciate Siddharth Motwane's movies... that is a hard fact !
Its to see something like this from craftsman motwane, in a time that we are living in social media and internet is grappling us from all around, so showcasing a dark side of it with so much detailing is a commendable effort.
This should be watched and he should be applauded. 👏❤
Ananya is really good in the movie. Scary
As a South Indian from chennai udaan released when I was in college , it was a whole new introduction for me and my friends towards Hindi cinema … Always a Motwane fan
Only someone like a Vikramaditya Motwane could've made this movie as good as it was! Keeping the runtime absolutely crisp & accurately depicting all that was shown in the movie. Kudos to CTRL for touching a very important piece of our modern lives.
motwane is my new favourite director! i watched the film last night and still am getting all the creeps. brilliant job!
in terms of cons- i think the runtime could be cut down for a bit. (the removal of joe from the digital footprint got way too screen time)
Allens avatar was unsettling, untrustworthy and undone for sure. But i do think making AI less like a human was better and more real because as nella says, 'tu toh ai hai, feelings nhi hai tere pass.' also considering the early stages of AI!
i do wonder why nella didnt say no when the last video was getting erased, after joe died! :(
but her turning to ctrl again at the end after everything, with joe as the avatar was a dark turn for sure!
It was baffeling how just a moments of her being away from the laptop changed everything. 💀
I do wish she fought the case but realistically people would walk away for sure so good decision.
The buildup and tension was real for sure! felt like i was handling the computer and being intrusive in someones life.
I love movies that leave a lasting impact and makes me want to think and analyse about it in detail!
i am so glad that this movie with such a crazyy and important concept with unique filmography came into the indian cinema landscape, gives me hope for better, unique and real storytelling for sure! thank you to the team and netflix!
“Nosedive” an ode to black mirror. Nice jammy
This movie simply put, IT DELIVERED, we could see from beginning to end the whole time clearly all the effort put in individually from everyone involved, the director, the actors, writers, and the entire team, a relevant movie to remember this year for sure! 👏👏❤
Plus, I love how out of all the films that launched recently and their hype and premieres and all, this one was the best one personally and I got to watch it simply at home 😊
7:38 u surely arent speaking from personal experience i am sure!!😅😂
Have to say this but i think people are just stupid to say bollywood is dying at this point like forget the massy films but look at the originality across the genres, movies like kill, madgaon express, laapata ladies, maidaan, sector 36, 12th fail(although it released last year but it was almost at the end of december) and now ctrl these all are so original stories. We as audience need to stop being hypocritical first people rant at bollywood for being unoriginal and then when they do such amazing stuffs we barely give it attentioon. (If people gave these movies as much attention as sara, jhanvi and ananya i would definitely say we can make a progress!!)
C U Soon starring Roshan mathew. Also had this kinda screenplay amazing movie
See in Telugu a soft, slow yet beautiful movie like '35 - chinna katha kaadu' releases in theater and in Tamil movie like meyazhagan another soft, slow yet beautiful movie releases in theaters and both the movies went to become successful. Infact Meyazhagan has stars like Aravind swamy and Karthi in it where as 35 with any star (except if you consider Nivetha Thomas as a star) did decent business at the BO and also had a decent opening.. that is now absent in Hindi industry. Some 6-7years back that was not the case...
Jimmy one q for u ...house of dragon or breaking bad despite being tv show are not considered inferior to movies ...rather their budget vfx storyline or just story telling they r better ....the actors directors working on tv series get their due ....why such conditions is not in India ...we hv some great web series in India ...sacred game part 1 or paatal log ...they can compete even internationally ...
Say what you will, but I think Ananya is serious in learning and improving her craft. Many scenes in her movies that require non-verbal acting she has done very well. I would say her expressions have more range than Jhanvi kapoor. Sheis also naturally good looking. I definitely look forward to her earning respect from audience as she does more movies
So used to TRP’s videos that Jammy missing “the underwhelming aspect” felt unusual 😂
It’s usually the case when the film is decent. I can’t really rave about it or entirely crap on it. Hence 🤷♂️

Keep it up bro
Honestly vikramaditya motwane is one of my favourite directors I was actually looking forward to his next directorial after jubliee and when I got to know ananya is in lead role for ctrl,I was a bit disappointed considering his earlier casting choice for jubliee especially siddant and wamiqa. But I watched the film and as a teen who has not watched any of the Hollywood movies based on this theme I think it's a great one time watch,it is worth your time and energy and Ananya has done a decent job. motwane's direction always weaves something new and leaves a lasting impact❤
Just realised that Vihaan Samat is in both Call Me Bae (which I haven't watched) and CTRL. Also, two references to Shah Rukh Khan AND using the name Aryan K. What was that about? Made me chuckle.

I really liked Searching & Black Mirror Ep so CTRL is similar ScreenLife Screenplay especially by directer Vikram Motwane is a must watch. But I feel Ananya Pandey will get boxed into this Gen-z or rich gf roles making it also slightly easier to portray but redundant.
Unpopular openion: When any good director or musicians colabs with bad actor,they always make a thing which is naturally of not their standerds like this movie's music director who also composed the gangs of wasseypur saga.But here her music felt so faltu.
the post break up music video was soooo lame! I liked the melancholic violin BGM that played near the climax tho!
Only one question.
Is it a good movie to watch for the weekend? Please answer this in the first minute of any movie review review
Call me bae is very good and very funny. You are just biased against Ananya. Call me bae had lots of meta jokes and indian pop culture references. I loved it. And everyone i know loved it.
cu soon is the first indian movie in this genre
Jab Tak Ananya aur Jahnvi ka Nepo Baap zinda Hai, in dono ka Career Bana rahega inspite of the several flops.
Love your Critical analysis of the films 🎥
CTRL is a good movie. I like its story because it is very realistic about the way we are dependent on the internet and all these apps in today's day and age. And I liked the ending too. I feel it was a realistic choice that Nella makes in the end as most people would often choose to live another day keeping their demons at bay rather than try to fight a giant that can easily crush them.
As for Ananya, she did a good job here. While it can be a disadvantage to her career if she keeps on choosing characters like Nella and Bella as they are pretty much different versions of herself, I am happy she is not choosing much deeper roles that are out of her talent zone just to prove to people she can act only to end up ruining projects. I hope she makes the right choices and keeps on improving as an actor.
I think what you said about apar shakti khurranas voice.. i don't think its that way... see we all have dicey behaviors somewhere about technology which is depicted by ananya very nicely, and about aparshkati's robotic voice add a natural touch to it.
Jammy being a massive fan of your content, I’ve noticed since a while that If your bashing a project u tend to be a little more overboard with the explanation playing on the audience sentiment-ie call me bae , personally understanding from content you wouldn’t have bashed it as much but cause of the engagement that hating on Anaya u might get I feel u went a bit over. Always been a huge fan of ur content cause all the must watch films or positive review are correct and so are the negative but just harsher sometimes
One think we need to realize as indian audience that not every actor has to show range. Some actors are great at playing themselves onscreen. Never heard that anybody criticising Robert down junior, Ryan playing themselves as iron man, deadpool. Ananya has found herself genz is also in great scripts.
This man, Motwane!!! Such a versatile director and the reportoire is deliciously good!!! Bhavesh Joshi will always be on the top for me though!!!
I don't think the makers were even trying to portray any relationship between Nella and Allen beyond the fact that he was erasing Joe from her digital past (which could be done without an assistant by the click of a button but having someone talk to you and ask you about each photo or video just made it easier for the user perhaps) so it's unfair to compare Allen's tone to that of ScarJo in Her. I watched the movie yesterday and it left me feeling so creeped out, especially with the ending where you know it's not always "good over evil" in real life! Also, I related it to "Joan is awful" as well. Black Mirror was always ahead of its time, man.
Motwayne FTW!!
This movie is definitely inspired by a story from the Book of Short Stories by Ken Liu called The Paper Menagerie and other stores. No doubt, it's well made. I enjoyed the watch.
Ananya Pandey killed it. You could have elaborated more on her acting in your review.
I have no qualms in admitting that this masterpiece did surprise me, pleasantly though. I must say I was flabbergasted by Ananya in some scenes. It gives me a feeling of watching fall colours where it is not green everywhere, yet you find it refreshingly green. I give the girl full credit for being intentional in making her choices and living through them. Although I feel she might be a misfit as the regular commercial Hindi cinema heroine, she seems to be well aware of her limitations and strengths, at least in choosing projects.
It is a sad reality that we are part of a digital crisis which might blow us even before climate crisis dooms us. And as of now there is no probable end or solution to it. We have seen the human race move on from Books, Print media, Radio, TV, Computers, Mobile Phones, iPads to smart watches. I can only imagine us going ahead towards digital chips pinned on to us in future. Agreed that this digital outburst has changed the way we learn, communicate, write, do business and navigate through relationships, but I do wonder if it is going to be difficult for me to go back to those days when we used to spend time sitting under a tree watching it rain and smile for hours.
